StartIsBack v2.9.19 Torrent Release ........... 01.02.2024 App Release ............... 03.08.2023 Official Page ............. https://startisback.com Changelog ................. https://startisback.com (Scroll down to HISTORY) Activator ................. https://github.com/Aetherinox/startisback-activator ====================================================================================== Be aware that there are different programs for different versions of Windows. If you are looking to restore the start menu in Windows 11, check out StartAllBack. -> StartIsBack : Windows 8, Windows 10 -> StartAllBack : Windows 11 Future releases may include both to make things easier. -> https://github.com/Aetherinox/startisback-activator -> https://github.com/Aetherinox/startallback-activator ====================================================================================== StartIsBack returns Windows 10 and Windows 8 to a real fully featured start menu and start button, behaving exactly like the menus in Windows 7. The program includes some of the following options: VISUAL STYLES: -> Windows 7 -> Windows 8 with Windows 10 buttons -> Windows 10 -> Windows 10 Plain START MENU SETTINGS: -> Change start menu icon -> Modify start menu settings per monitor -> Use large or medium icons -> Display frequently used modern apps -> Display start menu shortcut -> Display folders before items -> Highlight newly installed programs -> Open submenus when mouse movement paused -> Search programs, settings, public folders -> Ask Cortana to search if no results found -> Display glyph icons -> Set number of recent programs to display -> Re-assign default action for Power Down button APPEARANCE SETTINGS: -> Use custom start menu coloring -> Use custom taskbar coloring -> Display all programs as flyout menu (Windows XP style) -> Hide user account pictures -> Taskbar icon sizes: S, M, L, LG -> Taskbar icon margins: XS, S, M, L, XL -> Center taskbar icons -> Taskbar dynamic transparency -> Taskbar segments ADVANCED SETTINGS: -> Do not prelaunch SearchApp and StartMenuExperienceHost processes -> Do not prelaunch frequently used modern apps -> Remove Pin to Start from shell context menu -> Store, display, and clear recently opened programs -> Store, display, and clear frequently opened modern apps -> Enable taskbar start menu animations -> Disable StartIsBack per computer user ====================================================================================== INSTALLATION: [x] Install StartIsBack from exe provided: -> StartIsBack\StartIsBackPlusPlus_setup.exe If you want to download the program to ensure it's safe, you can visit -> https://startisback.com/#download-tab NOTE: This activator was tested with v2.9.19. If you download a newer versions from the site, it may or may not work. [x] Once installed, close out the StartIsBack program window if open. [x] Launch the provided patch utility: -> StartIsBack\SIBActivator.exe A User Account Control (UAC) prompt will appear and ask: "Do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device?" It will give you the options YES or NO. Select YES The activator is requesting this permission to run as admin because the activator must stop the process "Explorer.exe" for a short period of time. This is required because StartIsBack ties into your Explorer.exe process and the patch cannot be applied while StartIsBack is actively being used by other processes. Explorer.exe will be restarted as soon as the patch has completed its work. [x] In the activator, click the "PATCH" button to the far left. The activator will automatically search for the installation location of StartIsBack. The activator searches for StartIsBack in following locations: -> Windows Environment Variable PATH -> C:\Program Files\StartIsBack -> C:\Program Files (x86)\StartIsBack -> C:\Users\$USER\AppData\Local\StartIsBack -> SIBActivator.exe directory (Where the patcher was executed from) -> Final search using Powershell "where" command If you don't have the StartIsBack files in any of the above locations, the patcher will inform you that it cannot find StartIsBack. You will then need to click the "MANUALLY LOCATE DLL" button and search for the location of the file -> StartIsBackCfg.exe [x] You will see your start menu and taskbar disappear for a brief moment while the patch takes place. Don't worry, your start menu and taskbar will re-appear. [x] After a successful patch has been applied, you can close out of the activator and re-launch StartIsBack. ====================================================================================== ABOUT ACTIVATOR: I write my own apps in C#. They contain no malware, no annoying music, and no ads. They don't even communicate with your internet. If you want to view the entire source code to the activator provided in this release, you can view it on Github: -> https://github.com/Aetherinox/startisback-activator My official apps are signed with my certificate. To confirm it is mine and unedited; right-click on SIBActivator.exe, click PROPERTIES, and then click the DIGITAL SIGNATURE tab. The exe should be digitally signed by "Aetherx" with the thumbprint: -> "70575bdfb02b3f1b45a37431bef9a8c9933a4ace" If SIBActivator.exe is not signed; DO NOT USE IT. Download the official one on my Github page from the link above. I do this to discourage someone from taking my source code and trying to add their own crap and re-distribute it. Newer versions of my patches include a signature verification feature. To access this, open the patcher and in the top menu, navigate to: -> Help -> Validate Signature ====================================================================================== VERIFY: View SHA256.sig.asc to verify the checksum of these files. Signature files are signed with the GPG Key: -> CB5C4C30CD0D4028 The exe is digitally signed by "Aetherx" with the thumbprint: -> "70575bdfb02b3f1b45a37431bef9a8c9933a4ace" ====================================================================================== SCREENSHOTS: https://i.imgur.com/uZZMz8w.png https://i.imgur.com/f9dwTAT.png https://i.imgur.com/8mDwu0k.png https://i.imgur.com/coygbwM.png https://i.imgur.com/wK56rlg.png ====================================================================================== PROTECTION: Torrents are a great way of sharing with the community. However, there are uploaders with less than generous intentions. Remember that if you're testing a release out, it's ALWAYS recommended to try the app out on a virtual machine first. This should be a standard practice with anyone involved software. The program "Virtual Box" is free and can be downloaded from the official websites: -> https://virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads A lot of us share in order to give to the community, and stand up against corporations taking advantage of the customer. However, not everyone has the same objectives. Stay safe
